TO FREE A JAMMED FLYWHEEL
• Stop the engine.
• Remove the spark plug wire and keep away from the spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (if so equipped).
• Remove any material left in the chipper hopper.
• Remove the deflector.
NOTE: Never pry against the scroll weldment when removing the deflector or at
any other time. This will cause damage to the machine.
• Check to see if deflector is clogged. If it is, clear with a branch.
• With a wooden stick, loosen and remove any material left in the chipping chamber.
• Reinstall the deflector.
• Reconnect the spark plug wire and battery (if so equipped).
• Start machine and let material in chipping chamber discharge through deflector.
• If chamber doesn’t clear and the flywheel is still jammed, repeat above process.
• Be certain chipping chamber is clear before trying to process more material into the
chipper.
